"The first and most important gigong meditation is called ru jing ("entering tranquillity"). Entering tranquillity means training the mind to be silently aware with any particular point of focus. It is nothingness. The mind is not thinking about but rather experiencing directly, immediately, without the mediation of thoughts and concepts. Ancient Daoist classics called this "the fasting of the mind."
~ Kenneth S. Cohen, The Way of Qigong ~
HERE ARE A FEW THOUGHTS ON MEDITATION
"MEDITATION IS WITNESSING THAT I AM NOT THE BODY, I AM NOT THE MIND, I AM NOT THE EMOTION."
"MIND IS THINKING, MEDITATION IS NO-THINKING"
